Welcome to Litsy!

This is a quick, tense, haunting story about the weight of grief, the emptiness that remains after a death, and how some things refuse to let us logic our way out of them. The story is told from Iðunn's perspective and the author does an excellent job keeping us in the dark as much as Iðunn is.

Photo is from nearly as close to Iceland as I've ever been (the coast of Maine. I've been to PEI, which is even closer, but it doesn't look as moody).

I just totally bombed at a piano recital, so I think I've earned a book and some cider. (If I'd done well (i.e., not completely choked on stage) I would also have earned a book and some cider. The book-and-cider was pretty much a given from the get-go.)

This is a very disturbing little horror novella. The writing is very good, but in the end the book was just missing something for me. It also includes violence against animals, which is a tough one for me. 3⭐️

After a more or less sleepless night (don‘t know why… Am I too excited for stuff happening right now?) I came across this book. Curious about it. Kinda tired but at the same time not. 🫣 Let‘s see how today goes… Might take a nap later or try going to bed early… #sleepless #thursday #have a good day #bookfind #bychance #wanttoread #teamnosleep #couldnotsleep #anybodyelsecurrentlytoo? #hopethisdoesnotcontinue #agoodnightssleepisessential

A woman is having some challenging symptoms and thinks increased exercise might be the key. But then he pedometer watch shows an amount of walking that seems impossible. Moving through the investigation of her own behavior is both interesting and steadily increasing in dread. I did find the ending a bit odd and too abrupt, but overall I liked this one.

A woman wakes up exhausted every morning, limbs aching, with unexplained bruising. She eventually finds out that she‘s sleepwalking. Strange things are happening - cats start to run away from her - and she tries to ascertain what is happening. It‘s a short read, a bit creepy, and one that keeps you hooked. The ending? Yeah, who knows what happened but I have several theories and I‘m okay with that. #offtheshelf #bookspin

An entertaining read. Definitely a page turner - I love psychological thrillers. Like others have said I don‘t really know what happened at the end, but a pick nonetheless.
